Kiev #8, also listed as Blue Velvet, is a haskap or blue honeysuckle selection in the University of Saskatchewan Fruit Program germplasm collection. The source places it within the broader Lonicera caerulea material used for haskap breeding and evaluation. [S1]
The available record is an inventory entry, not a full cultivar description. It lists Kiev #8 (Blue Velvet) among 1998 acquisitions from Jim Gilbert / Northwoods Nursery in Oregon, USA. [S1]
The source gives no fruit description, ripening season, flavor, storage behavior, plant habit, disease notes, or direct hardiness statement for Kiev #8. Its cold climate relevance comes from its presence in the University of Saskatchewan haskap germplasm collection, where Russian, Japanese, and Kuril material was assembled for breeding work. [S1]
The source does not give parentage for Kiev #8. In this record, it should be treated as an acquired germplasm accession or named selection, not as a University of Saskatchewan release. [S1]
